I would choose both. But if i have to really choose than its Humane pin.
Ff’s hyped it for so long.
Using Perplexity:
The Humane AI Pin is a wearable AI assistant device that is designed to be worn on the body, typically pinned to clothing. It features a 13MP camera, a built-in projector to display information on the user's hand, a touchpad, and voice/gesture controls. The AI Pin runs on Humane's Cosmos operating system, which is integrated with a large language model to enable intelligent interactions and productivity features like summarizing emails and texts, scanning food for nutritional information, and real-time translation. The AI Pin is priced at $699 with an additional $24 monthly subscription fee.
In contrast, the Rabbit R1 is a handheld, smartphone-like device with a 2.88-inch touchscreen display, a rotating camera, and voice command capabilities. It runs on Rabbit's own operating system, Rabbit OS, which utilizes a "large action model" AI system to enable hands-free control of apps and execution of complex tasks through voice commands. The Rabbit R1 is priced at $199 with no additional subscription required.

these are gateway products
"they walk so that others can run"
can't label them the worst products just because MKBHD says so
You could say so but right now they are far from polished and the experience is supposedly crap

Bruh who the hell is buying this shit? It’s clear they’re scams just by reading about them
I'll vote for the Humane pin. R1 is at least cheap and you can treat it like a toy. If it doesn't get better, just write off your $200 expense.
Humane Pin is an actual liability with a monthly subscription on top of its already insane price. Absurd product with no actual use-case or need.
